Title: Still Life with Plaster Cupid
English: Still Life with Statuette
Object type: Painting
Description: On a table, next to some fruit, is a statuette. But the painting does not give many clues as to the surrounding room – a fireplace is vaguely suggested in the background, along with a window to the left. It is executed with light brush strokes and thin oil paint – in a style that resembles watercolour. In several places the pale primed canvas is visible through the paint. The statuette on the table is a plaster replica of a 17th century statue. The replica belonged to the artist and appears in several of his drawings and paintings.
